Immigration Ain't Easy Ep. 2: Sgt Talib Abdoulaye and Attorney Beth Boyer

August 19, 2024 Season 1 Episode 2

Sgt. Talib Abdoulaye came to the U.S. as a refugee from Chad when he was 12 years old. Over a decade later, as a Sargent in the U.S. Army, he returned to adopt his five half-siblings (all minors) after the untimely passing of his mother during childbirth. Bringing them to the U.S. was complicated and, thankfully, a pro bono lawyer named Beth Boyer came to the rescue! All 5 children received humanitarian parole are now live safely with Sgt. Abdoulaye thanks to Ms. Boyer and Senator Mark Kelly's office. I interview both Ms. Boyer and Sgt. Abdoulaye about this story. Taking on 5 adoptees comes with significant challenges, especially while proudly serving in our military. A gofundme has been organized for his family, if you would like to contribute: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gofund.me_153f8a16&d=DwMFaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=Zd4au5_5bSgMp-JQAaRz8S0DUDzWm7Sq8qZ0XldVmHI&m=wDc19umWZRsdOeHwGvTHepMaUH3jsAQr5COCNIn-RTyviXzIXetJLn7SFOmnPffE&s=ZkfvmWEqzJ8upTTgdHFpBlSpxlCro58rZ-SgRIuGEyE&e=
